“I am constantly driven by the fruits of collaboration, the united forces of minds and ideas which together can create something completely new,” says Lisa Gorman. “Having worked with over 80 artists, makers and creators over the past decade to re-imagine and re-fabricate artworks into wearable collections, it's incredibly exciting to present this multi-faceted show at Heide.”

Heide Museum of Modern Art Artistic Director, Lesley Harding, said: “Heide is delighted to present this anniversary exhibition celebrating Gorman’s twentieth birthday and ten years of partnering with some of Australia’s favourite artists. It is testimony to the magic that happens when people from different disciplines team up and work together to explore new realms.”
